<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3006867, member: 19463"]+1 There is so much that can happen when you bury something in various ground for long periods of time. It is so much worse when you add the factor that a 20% silver coin may have a lot of things in that 80% that can react differently and leave different results. Not all are copper/silver. Adding lead, tin zinc and thing yet to be understood gained by recycling old scrap will require study. I would be interested in seeing what the coin measures now as opposed to what it was when made. The silver once there may have departed long ago. How do we prove that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
